They’re trying all this batshit crazy nonsense to get out of paying $50,000.

The idea being that if they pay 50k to this guy, it might get someone else to want 500k... or 5 million... or more. Alternately, "We got the lawyers, may as well use them."

Yeah, avoiding precedent is pretty important for big corporations. Not only might someone else sue for more, but I think a successful lawsuit can make future suits easier to win and might open them up to other damages.
